Kick. Snare. Hat. Ride.
As there is no general discussion thread now, gonna have to post this here.
Is this game getting 'worse' for anyone? When I first got it, I thought it was superb and now I have the Von file, I've started a Master League (West Ham - I like a challenge!) and the game is getting incredibly frustrating.
1) Passes rarely go where you want now. Holding down the pass button doesnt always do a long pass to the next player which is frustrating - same with a 'long press' through ball.
2) Crossing seems abysmal - either using the R1 modifier (not sure what the default is, I change controls), or just a normal 'long pass' cross. Not scored a cross in ages as they are either massively overhit, or drop too short.
3) Sending offs are stupid. I've had at least 1 player sent off in my last 5 games in before that I had 3 in one match and 2 in another. You just cannot tackle.
4) The stupid 'falling backward' animation is doing my head in when you slide someone from the side.
5) The chants --- ARRRRGHHH the chants!
6) I've seen some instances of the ball rolling off course of its own accord - like warping to a different trajectory.
7) You cannot angle long passes now where you want, they go on a set trajectory - I've brought this up before in a few posts. You could do it in PES2008.
I'm gonna say that at this moment, I enjoyed PES2008 much more! And that is a shocking statement as PES2008 was pretty bad (I learned to love it).
Too me, it seems PES2009 is trying to cater for players of lesser ability - almost too much hand-holding, I dont feel any freedom in the play.
I had FIFA for 3 weeks and I am thinking that maybe I sold it too early just to get PES - I dont know why, but I really want to play FIFA again now just to try and get a good game of footie.
I'm facing up to the reality that this year, for the first time I can remember in my 20+ years playing games, that there is not a football game out that I can enjoy.
I wonder if both Konami and EA have lost site of the 'fun' factor in games in striving for 'realism'. Get back to basics, make the gameplay FUN...
Bah! I'm depressed...
